Then you he didn't always charter the best flights and nickeled and dimed the team for everything. Plus the locker room at the coliseum was smaller than most college teams.

He obviously spends more money now on the team. Barclays has had some recent ice issues the last couple of weeks but it wasn't like that all year and the facility is top notch compared to what the players had at the Coliseum. I'm really curious to know when that list was made.

Here ya go, they came in at #3 -

They have both been amazing and as far as I can tell have only been beaten cleanly on two shots each. Keith and Seabrook both burned Elliot plain and simple. Anisimov got a tip in to a wide open net and Shaw got one with sheer grit in front of the net. Parayko smashed it by Crawford on a PP and Tarasenko blew one by him in game 2. The other 3 goals Crawford gave up were all redirects. Sucks for Chicago but that is hockey.

Yeah, I think Hawks bounce back in game 4 to even the series and then the last 3 games are going to be battles. I expect Shaw or Ladd to give some shots to Ott after he ripped Toews helmet off yesterday.

I don't like this idea, and am almost 100% sure the league would never go for it, but wanted to bring it up for discussion. The argument that one of the Pens or Rangers will be gone in round 1, that's always gonna be a problem in today's NHL. If the argument that a top team might get knocked out. Just start in the conference finals then. In 98 and 99 the top 3 teams in the East were out in round one. In 2003, the Western Finals was the 6th and 7th seed. If you want the top teams to always advance, go watch the NBA. The NHL wants rivalries and 1-16 wouldn't get that. I mean hell, you can see the hate building up between the Wings and Lightning because of the last 2 playoff years.

As for Zatkoff’s comment about what's the difference between 2 hours and 5 hours on a plane...ask the Wings and Jackets if there is a difference. Ask the Stars how much they like it or liked it back when they were in the Pacific.


Not just the Penguins and Rangers IMO, both St. Louis and Chicago are capable of winning a cup but are facing each other in the first round unfortunately.

Flyers have played well in the first two games and I think the energy of the Wells Fargo Center will get them going and I think they can finally solve the riddle of Braden Holtby. Flyers 3-1 tonight

I think the Flyers win tonight. That's my guess.

So a stat I just saw for our resident Caps fan. Caps have NEVER gone up 3-0 in a best of 7 series. That's pretty incredible.

Sharks can't win at home for beans so I think your Kings are going to even this up quick.

Caps over Flyers 2-1 is my best guess. Will be a very close and interesting game.

Dallas game is going to be another joke, Minnesota really has no business in the playoffs. The Avs would have been a more interesting first round matchup.

That is pretty incredible. They do need to find a new way to collapse, though. ;) (I keed, I keed.)

:lol Glass half full huh?

Then there is the Sharks who seem to specialize in blowing 3-1 or 3-0 series leads, often to LA! :)

I like the positive vibes.. Would be absolutely huge if the flyers can get on the board first. Caps will take the crowd of it with an early lead gotta avoid that.

I'd really like for game 4 to mean something as I will be in attendance.

The Sharks are pretty much the West's version of the Caps. :lol

I don't think the problem is actual flight time, it's changing time zones so much. At least with East v. West you're at MOST changing two time zones, but adding that third makes it so tough. There are some early games in round 1. Could you imagine the LA Kings playing in a 2 p.m. game in New York? That's horseshit. That's 11 a.m. for them. Those 2 p.m. games are a lot more controllable when it's the SCF.

you realize 2:1 odds doesn't mean 50/50 right?

if a team has 2:1 odds, that means they have a 66% chance of winning

different ways of saying statistics are garbage.

:lol ok bud, i'm just not sure why you lumped it in with 50% and 1/2

your post clearly meant to say they are all the same thing, which they are not
